## Tools

We use [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) to edit the documentation. There is also a *markdown preview* plugin. *Markdown* is
the format for the files which you can preview on Github as well. As alternative, you can use the [stackedit.io editor](https://stackedit.io/).
Soon there will be a more specialized tool to manage & document machine development.
